[issue27640] add the '--disable-test-suite' option to configure

Thu Jul 28 06:05:18 EDT 2016

New submission from Xavier de Gaye:

Do not install the Python test suite when configure is run with '--disable-test-suite'. This about divides by two the size of the installed standard library.

Related to issue 26852: add the '--enable-legacy-pyc-files' option to configure.

The attached listdirs.py script may be used to check that the set of sub-directories in the std library is not changed by the patch.
